Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to processor communications fabrics. In some embodiments, a processor includes multiple client circuitry and fabric circuitry that includes at least first and second instances of a tile. The tile may include: client inputs configured to interface with client circuits, tile inputs configured to interface with one or more other tile instances, and communication resources assignable to the client inputs and tile inputs. The communications resources may include: multiple internal links, client outputs configured to interface with client circuits, and tile outputs configured to interface with one or more other tile instances. Control circuitry may, in a given cycle, assign communication resources of a given tile instance to at least a portion of the client inputs and tile inputs for a next cycle, based on priority information. The control circuitry may update priority information based on assignment results over multiple cycles.

Abstract: An improved motorized folding portable footboard scooter. The rider of the scooter stands upon a scooter platform and directs the scooter. The handle bar folds to facilitate the portability of the scooter. The engine is operationally connected to the transmission, which is operationally connected to the rear tire. Shifting the transmission is accomplished by a control on the handle bar. A smaller lighter engine is used because the transmission allows for the power output of the engine to be optimized for different driving speeds and conditions. The resulting portable motorized foot scooter has greater speed and terrain following characteristics over a non-transmission scooter while still retaining its lightweight portability.

Abstract: An improved motorized scooter utilizing suspension provided with a large tubular chassis having two central brackets, supporting a rider's platform. The front of the tubular chassis bends upward through a notch in the platform upward above the front wheel to support a steering head tube. The steering head tube supports a fork which holds the front wheel. The rear wheel is contained in a supporting bracket which also holds the engine relative to the rear wheel allowing it to be operatively connected. The central tubular member is pivoted somewhere along its length so that the frame halves can rotate in respect to each other along the pivot point. The long lever arm provided by utilizing the frame as a suspension element allows for greater terrain following characteristics due to the increased leverage. Rotation between frame halves is resisted by a shock absorber with either end connected to the respective frame halves.

Abstract: An electrically driven brake controlled skateboard employing an electric motor and associated battery mounted on the bottom of its foot supporting board employs a pulley arrangement whereby the initial slipping of its belt acts as a clutch for transferring rotational power from the motor to a U-grooved drive wheel of the skateboard. The U-groove is low cut so that the drive belt is partially exposed to the road surface. A dual purpose tether mounted brake control and on/off switch is used to control the braking of the skateboard and the energization of the drive motor.
